Hi Jon
Thank you for taking of your time to reply.
My friend is basically starting in editing. I was going to use his basic timeline to demonstrate some basic ”how to”. It will have to wait ’till Christmas when we all get together.
Thank you again Jon, much appreciated !!!

Hi Jon
He is running Premiere Pro CC 2015.2, V9.2.0
Does this mean that I’m up the creek without a paddle ? I may get lucky and when MVP 14 rolls out, it will be able to understand the file.
It would be nice if Magix could somehow make the next version compatible in order to open other types of project files. That would make MVP most desirable.
Thank you Jon !!!

Hi Carlos
I was running SVP 12 when I switched to Win 10. That’s when I started to have problems. They were minor glitches and I could live with it. Upgraded to SVP 13 and I got even more grief. I went back to Win 7 Pro and now everything runs smoothly. If you can afford the down time and do a clean install, it’s may be worth the try. If it doesn’t change anything, your hardware may be the cause. Process of elimination.
Good luck !

Hello again
At this point, your best bet is to use After Effects with the KeyLight 1.2 plugIn.
Free version from Adobe direct: (you will have to create an account and check 1 or 2 boxes) Don’t go for the suite, just the one you need right now. (AE) You can come back latter if you want the others..

Do a search on Google for KeyLight 1.2 and download.
After install, follow the excellent tutorial here: https://vimeo.com/34365256
The first half is lighting technique and the second is the actual AE Keylight process. I learned a lot from Eve and David a couple of years ago. Check out the rest of there stuff when you have more time.
Cheers !

Hi Sandeep
The real secret in order to get a good result with a green screen is to :
1- A green backdrop with the right tint (flat, non-reflective).
2- Lighting is key (no pun intended). No harsh lights. Use a diffuser on your lights if you don’t have soft lighting available.
3- Try to achieve even lighting on your screen.
4- Make sure the subject is far enough so not to cast any shadows on your green screens. It will also diminish the green spill around your subject. If your green screen is too small, just use the MASK option in EVENT PAN/CROP.
5- Proper back-lighting of your subject will help to detach your subject from the green screen. (and cut down on the spill)
For video production, as in film and photography, good lighting is the secret that will make the difference between an OK product and a Stellar one.
It is always better to start with great stock footage than trying to fix everything in post. It will make your life way more stress free.
Your other option would be to get your hands on Harry Potter’s magic wand…..
Cheers !
P.S.: Try to get your talent not to wear pin stripes……

Just adding my 2 cents, it took me a while to find it. The read me file attached to it gives you incorrect information. Perhaps a correction should be made to the file. Here is what is says:
….VASST Freeware plug-ins are not a stand-alone programs. They are script plug-ins for Sony Vegas® 6.0, 7.0, and Vegas Pro 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, and 12.0 both 32-bit and 64-bit that are run from within Vegas. You do this with the Vegas menu item:
Tools > Scripting > VASST Freeware > [script name]
Where [script name] is the name of the script you just installed. This will bring up script from within your Vegas project. Many of the scripts will require you to select an event or track before you invoke them……..

Well, ended up trying all of the variations in Vegas and DVD Architect. It always came out with too much red. Solved the problem by paying the authoring house (70.00$) and sending them my .MXF file. It sure beats a bottle of anti-depressants….

FYI, link returns a 404 message. I guess that Blog is not operational anymore. Fortunately, there’s Wayback Machine. Here’s the link. Great article.

Hi John,
Bingo ! What threw me off was that I had checked the box Video only in the filter option section and did not uncheck Match Project Settings assuming that since the file had video then matching the project settings would. (for others reading this post, see screen capture)
Thank you John ! Have a great week !

Hi John, I admire your patience….
I sent you the wrong screen shot, sorry. This is the one I should have sent you for V12.
